sorry its a bit too complex I am a noob u see I know how to do <div> and css but new to javascript and I think its a javascript thing really
In Dreamweaver, do you create a Table or DIV?
When you create either, you can give it a size like 300 px or 900 px.
You can also give it a size like 100% (change the px to %).
So, if you have a Table sized at 700 px wide and change it to 90% wide, it will take up 90% of whatever screen it is on.

div's usually why? I thought you only use tables for database stuff these days
You are correct about divs. Tables are old. Still widely used, however.
Same approach, you can create a wrapper div (one that goes around all the others) and size that by % of screen size. If you have smaller ones too, however, they should also be resized by %.

so if i do a div for the whole background and then in css say#background{ width: 100%;} for the background div would that work if i put a gif image in the background div and also set that to 100% would that work
